Directions

Step 1

Place ½ cinnamon stick (whole) inside the espresso funnel or filter. Add coffee grounds, vanilla and azúcar morena. Add water and brew the coffee according to espresso stovetop maker directions.

Step 2

Place milk into a glass jar with a lid. Shake jar for 30-60 seconds until foam begins to form. Remove the lid and heat the milk in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. (Foam will separate and milk will be hot).

Step 3

Divide the brewed coffee between two cups.

Step 4

Pour milk and milk foam evenly between the two cups, starting from the center of the cup.

Step 5

Using a grater, sprinkle Mexican hot cocoa on the foam. Add chili powder and serve with a cinnamon stick as a garnish.
